and technology has changed, sex has been severed from reproduction through i.v.f. and other kinds of technologies, gay men can have biological children and so can lesbian women and we now may believe that there's a biological basis for sexual orientation that that's not a ridiculous proposition that maybe people didn't focus on that before. the states have moved, the country has moved, the public opinion has moved and that's relevant to whether this is really just a remnant of an idea whose time has passed. and if you look not at the past-- as jeff i think correctly did, that's what the conservatives argue-- but if you look in the future i predict not only will there be gay marriage soon enough, but in 30 years we will look back on this era with a kind of incomprehension, the same sort of incomprehension that people today look back and say how could they have believed in savory? how could they have believed in segregation? that 81% andrew mentioned is not going to change its mind as it grows older. >> that's a very inspiring statement about the arc of history. but
